The Congress shall not suspend the right of Habeas Corpus except during times of invasion or rebellion.
So says the US Constitution. The Republican led Congress of 2006 enacted the Military Commissions Act, effectively suspending the right of Habeas, thus violating the US Constitution. Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY)has introduced a Bill to restore Habeas in the United States. What a tragedy that the actions of the current administration neccessitated introducing such a Bill in America today.

I'm a little confused as to whether the suspention of habeas may apply to US citizens or not. Clarification?
